Title
What the locals know: Comparing traditional and scientific knowledge of megapodes in Melanesia
Author(s)

Abstract
Conservation biologists in Melanesia often work on a poorly known biota without time for long-term research projects. The indigenous peoples at project sites invariably have long histories and extensive traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). In this context, for conservation purposes, it would make sense to integrate the TEK of indigenous peoples and the scientific ecological knowledge (SEK) of the outsiders who work with them on conservation projects.
